Ella-Henri school serving quality Education! ~ What's Trendy? Small Business, Big Statements!

Recently I met this amazing woman who runs a school close to where I live. She is sweet, and just chatting with her showed me she is very different from most Educators I have met in past.

She believes that education is the best gift any parent can give their child, not just education but Great Education!

Meet Mrs. Ijeoma Okpala. A wonderful woman who believes every child in her school is hers and would nurture them as she will do to hers. Mrs. Ijeoma Okpala runs Ella-Henri schools with branches in Lagos, Aba and Italy. She is sure a hard worker. Enough said, let’s meet Ella- Henri School.

Ella- Henri School is a new co-educational day school in the Gbagada area of Lagos, offering Crèche and Pre-Preparatory education for children from ages 0-5 years of age. Children can join the school throughout the academic year.

Ella-Henri prides itself on maintaining high academic standards, while encouraging in every child an enthusiasm for learning good manners, self-discipline and in all things, a determination to do their best and realize their full potential, children will be taught to believe “that they can do more than they can think!” Respect, empathy and responsibility are key features of the school’s philosophy, small classes coupled with large number of qualified teaching staff are an integral part of the school’s signature, and this ensures that each child receives the individual support and encouragement that they need at this stage, thus giving them opportunities to gain the confidence. They are also being encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities.

Ella- Henri School work in close partnership with parents to ensure that effective channels of communication are always open; each child has a parent contact book which will be looked at by their class teacher on a daily basis. There are weekends, over the course of the school year, providing opportunity for parents to discuss school matters and to check the progress of their child. Parents are also welcome to arrange an appointment to pop into school for a chat with their child’s class teacher to talk about any aspect of their child’s education.

Ella-Henri has structured safe and stimulating environment ensuring that the teachers strive to bring out the best in all our children.

Their aim is to provide more for every child.

‘The benefit of thorough education are clear so key into our vision of giving our children not just high academic standard but good etiquette in their daily lives thus providing them with thorough education.’

Wow! now that is what I call a total package. I walked into the school and was really impressed, it just felt homely.

The subjects taught in the preschool classes are Numeracy, sensorial, literacy, practical life, cultural life, creatively, music, movement Rhymes, Handwriting (cursive), computer Appreciation, creative dance techniques, good etiquette and so much more.

The school has loads of soft toys, outdoor games and toys as Astroturf (synthetic grass) mini pools for swimming/ water play days, video based Educational and Learning aids, conducive classrooms with air conditioning. We will like to state that all toys and facilities are brand new. NICE!

A very cozy sleep room for the sleepy heads, well equipped Crèche, Disney theme TV screens and DVDS, available medical personnel who could offer first aid treatments to a child who might fall sick in the course of the day’s activities or whose health history requires constant attention.

This makes me want to be two years old again, with no worries and have a fun learning experience. I remember in my days we had slates and chalk and screamed our heads off when reciting the alphabets and numbers. I am glad my children have a fun time now while learning.

Invest in a quality education for your child(ren) it never hurts!
